The collapsed Metrodome roof material, which housed Minnesota baseball, football, countless musical acts, and other large events, is now made in to guaranteed for life bags. Purchase your piece of history before they're gone.

Duluth Pack and Faribault Woolen Mills, with over 277 years of combined manufacturing experience, have teamed up to create a revival of American handcrafted excellence. The wool used for the new Foot Soldier Series is made to military specs that have been maintained since WWI.

I just recently purchased this bag. I waited about 2 weeks to do this review. The bag is excellently made, wonderful leather, and the color is beautiful (Burgundy). After I broke the straps in with my hands, it is a super comfortable bag to carry. I love it. I will only purchase Duluth pack products from here on out. Next on my list is the Deluxe Daypack! My only wish for the classic rucksack is I wish it came with a leather handle so I don't have to carry it by a strap when I'm just picking it up. Otherwise 5 stars, love the bag, well worth the money and the quality is outstanding. (Posted on 8/23/2014)

Classic RucksackReview by Richard

I've had my rucksack sonce 2003, it has been to over 24 countries with me. Nothing compares to it's usefullness as a small carry on or as a bag to use duing sightseeing and as a simple briefcase for meetings. As it aged I began using it for fishing and hunting day trips, works great. Still lokks almost new and I have no problems with it. (Posted on 11/21/2013)

Love itReview by CJ

I used my rucksack for 10 years and love it but the canvas across the bottom back, just above the seam, split. Don't know if it can be repaired. I would like to have a leather strip sewn there so I can use it again. (Posted on 10/16/2013)

just o.k.Review by wilson

My old pack died, the zippers gave up. I searched for a pack that had no zippers and settled on the Duluth Rucksack. I purchased the waxed cotton model to match my Filson coat. The quality of construction is not above average, the leather edges are not waxed or sealed, an operation done by me. The angle of the straps is too severe, and I am constantly adjusting the pack. I use a pack everyday and this one will take some getting used to. (Posted on 9/26/2013)

Finally, the perfect bag!Review by Kate

I just received my bag yesterday (in burgundy), and I am so pleased with it already. I don't often write reviews, in fact this is my first, but I am so excited about this bag that I feel like I have to write a review. After spending 4 years in college trying to find the perfect bag, I have finally found it! This bag will be perfect for school (I'm a grad student), and perfect for a travel/weekend bag (I go abroad a lot). The size is just right, the color looks good, it's lightweight and roomy, and the overall look is really sleek, I've just had it a day and received so many compliments. Hopefully I will have and use this bag for many years to come! (Posted on 4/27/2013)

One GREAT packReview by brblacksmith

I have had this pack since 2001. Its been through college, travel, camping, and hunting. It is finally thread bare in the bottom, but a quick patch job got me through that last semester of college. Great product well worth the money and the only backpack that lasted me more than one year. (Posted on 4/16/2013)

I just received my new Rucksack (Black on Black) and it is awesome! As indicated in other reviews it is bigger that expected, which i am glad. It is build solid (and in the USA!) the leather is heavy duty and appears to be very good quality. (Posted on 2/22/2013)

Received this as a Christmas gift this year, have used it once so far and am very happy with it, I do hope that the leather softens as it did cause a little irritation on my shoulder as I am used to a padded strap. I love the look of it and totally love how much it holds.
Looking forward to many years of use -hiking, being #1 but I do travel several times a year, so it will also come in handy on the plane as I can stuff it full. Thank you (Posted on 12/30/2012)

I have had this pack for about a month now and I have to say that it has been serving me well. I did have a problem with the leather straps digging into my shoulders, but after moistening the straps with some water and wearing the pack for a hike, the straps moulded themselves to my body shape and now the pack fits like a well worn pair of shoes!
